Hohe Fürleg, Mountain summit in Karwendel, Austria
Hohe Fürleg is a mountain summit in the Karwendel range located at 2570 meters elevation, marked by a distinctive ridge that runs between Hundskopf and the Fallbachkar cirque. The peak sits within a larger network of alpine trails that connect various points across the range.
Mountaineering routes to Hohe Fürleg were established during the late 1800s when alpine tourism expanded across the Karwendel region. This period saw the beginning of systematic development of climbing access throughout the massif.
Local mountaineers maintain several established climbing paths to the summit, marking technical sections with steel cables to ensure safe passage through exposed areas.
Parking is available near Hinterhornalm or in the Halltal area, though toll roads provide access to these starting points. The trail to the summit covers roughly 10 kilometers and involves sections with steep terrain.
The peak forms a distinctive twin summit configuration alongside neighboring Walderkampspitze, creating a recognizable profile across the surrounding Tyrolean valleys. This dual formation makes it an easy landmark to identify from surrounding viewpoints.
